Synopsis

Prominent buildings continue to rise in Berlin’s center. Last year’s highlights include works by Jean Nouvel, Mathias Ungers, Ieoh Ming Pei, Dominique Perrault, Josef Paul Kleihues and many more. The 1997 volume documents, among others, the work of Renzo Piano and Arata Isozaki at the bow of Potsdamer Platz, Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum, Sir Norman Foster’s new dome for the Reichstag and the completed city complexes of Philip Johnson and Aldo Rossi. In addition to urban projects, five new suburbs are presented, ranging from garden-city to stone-block, and Berlin’s neglected waterfront is documented in a series of air views that cover the north-to-south course between the New Towns "Spandau Lake” (Kees Christiaanse et al.) and "Rummelburg Bay” (Herman Hertzberger et al.). Also in 1997: city strolls, the day-by-day "Chronology of Events” and Berlin’s "New Buildings ‘97”.
